Initial analysis

The property at 301 W 118th St 2 in West Pullman is a two-unit residential building built in 1965 and currently owned by Lamar Hamlin. The building has recorded 44 violations and 17 service requests through 311 over the past seven years, with significant ongoing concerns in 2023-2024. Particularly troubling are six unresolved complaint-driven inspections in January 2023 and two more in February 2024, all of which remain open as of the latest data. The service request history shows various municipal issues being addressed, including a stray animal complaint, street pothole, tree emergency, sanitation code violation, and street light outage, all of which have been closed. An environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping was recorded in August 2003, and violation notices were issued in May 2015 related to vacant building maintenance and security requirements, though these were ultimately non-suited with no fines.

Risk rating

How 301 W 118Th St 2's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
